I'd like to be a poet growing my hair long,
and own a beach house.
Live there 365, I'd never have to go inside
and I'd be blitzed everyday.
At the end of the row, in the theater seats,
yea, I'm all by myself.
I guess I am sorry,
I know you wanted to party.
I tried to help.
She is lost in his eyes while trapped in my own,
and she's on her knees.
But she can't cuz she's stupid,
hooking up with the dudes,
and she's a little kid.
They're just another Michigan band with the cigarettes and a couple of fans and I am their friend.
Nothing but a smile and a drummer and I wish I knew where they were going so I could be there too.
Hey.

Intertextual Feeling

I don't want to commit a bit.
Intellectual, I thought it was from all the intertextual feelings.
Marvin and all his friends are going to hell from all the intercourse that comes from intertexual
feelings wrapping up my head but Uncle Pete's taking too long because he's building up suspense.
As he, peels away the paper and the tape he finds something that he hates I dunno anymore.
I don't want to commit a bit.
I never wanted Lost to end but they weren't dead the whole time so it wasn't a waste of...
holy, holy I'm in DC rolling but I'm stretched way too thin just like Rivers in Pinkerton.
So 100 hours gone of my time and I don't feel bad when you are coming around.
So don't even bother getting it together cuz your boyfriend is gayer than Elton.
I don't want to I don't want to I don't want to I don't want to I don't want to

I am just a little bit jealous
of your funds and the stories that you tell us
while ADD is killing all of my friends.
Create a scene song to try to be relevant,
name for name pass it off as a resemblement
lace up your Doc Martin boots.
Write a few words and end with a cliche,
all the girls will sing and you'll get some more fame
and I'll sit on the metro and go grassroots.
Legs pushed up against the backseat,
8 hours in, you're probably watching TV
while ADD is killing all of my friends.
Create a scene song to try to be relevant,
name for name pass it off as a resemblement

all the girls will sing and you know you'll get paid
and I'll sit on the metro and go grassroots.

Quietly, She's Sleeping

Here I am snowed, inside of my dreams
looking out my windows through the seams.
The auditorium calls, the guys are lined on the wall
but nobodies there to see the point.
In my yard, looking up at the sky
wondering if someone's up there sitting, passing the time.
Come and lay with me, I got nowhere to be,
anyway.
You keep on giving me chances
and it's kind of a funny story to me.
In a backwards world, you would be my girl
but not for long.
Look into my eyes and see
your little sister climbing up into that tree.
Catch her before falls, that tree looks pretty tall
from here.
Ali, Ben, and Harry, the mix will never get done.
Holding it from you is just a part of my fun.
Truth is I care less if you knew how much it meant to me.
Meant to me.
